Flowering gardens in the desert is a phenomenon as natural for Israel as dried, abandoned parks in Ukraine.

Jerusalem, which is situated in the territory of the desert, is one of the greenest cities in Israel, and its biggest green area is Sacher Park. It is located in the city center: this is where the citizens of Jerusalem are going on a picnic, here the main festivities during the holidays are held.

High-tech Israelis have decided to make their favourite blooming oasis the most environmentally friendly: Sacher became a member of the “smart” parks. The charging stations for electric bikes and smart phones will be installed in the park, Wi-Fi, energy-saving “smart” systems of lighting and irrigation with remote control and solar-powered will be over the whole territory.

On the territory of Sacher there are already grounds for football, tennis, basketball, frisbee, for skateboarding or rollerblading, playgrounds, plenty of space for picnics. After the project of “smart” park starts working in Sacher, other public places of Jerusalem will be upgraded.

The history of the park is interesting: it is named after Harry Sacher - British lawyer and Zionist, who moved to Eretz Yisrael in 1918. After his father's death his children gave by will his entire fortune to create a city garden, to perpetuate the name of Sacher in the city, which he loved passionately. During the War of Independence, the park had a runway for the aircraft, which delivered provisions and ammunition to the city. In 2013, ther monument in honor of soldiers, who died for Jerusalem during the war, was put.

In May this year, at the Mariinsky park in Kyiv a piece of Israel appeared: in honor of the 25th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations between Ukraine and Israel here Avenue of Israel was planted, where there is also free Wi-Fi.
